Sheriff's office accepts $1.5 million DOJ COPS grant and transfers K-9 Zeke to Wayne County
Summary
The commission approved acceptance of a $1.5 million Department of Justice COPS grant and several sheriff's office contract amendments, and approved the transfer of K-9 Zeke to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office; no financial exchange was recorded for the K-9 transfer.
Davis County commissioners approved the sheriff's office request to accept a 2024 Community-Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Technology and Equipment Program grant from the U.S. Department of Justice totaling $1,500,000 and approved related contract amendments and an interagency transfer of a patrol K-9.
Chief Deputy Taylor West presented three items from the sheriff's office: an Amendment No. 1 to service contract 10732023 with Holbrook Services LLC for removal and installation of a makeup air unit (payable $329,252.73, ending Jan. 30, 2025), acceptance of the COPS grant (award number read aloud in full) that began 03/09/2024 and ends 03/31/2026, and an agreement transferring ownership and liability for canine Zeke to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office (no financial information). Commissioners moved and approved items 23'25.
Why it matters: the COPS grant provides federal funding for technology and equipment to support community-oriented policing efforts; the K-9 transfer formalizes interagency custody and liability but included no monetary exchange in the transcript.
Next steps: sheriff's office staff will execute grant acceptance documents and manage contract amendments and the K-9 transfer as appropriate under county procedures.
